We know who's at fault.

Damn him and his Haiku Poetry.

Have you met Americans?

Alternatively, selfhost.

Okay I understand that kneejerk "Be a good parent" reaction. But IMO that ship has sailed. And the more we tell parents to "be good parents" the more they think that means attending the local book burning.

Also, no sympathy to game publishers that make their games into dopamine casinos. Back in the good old days, video games (like all other media) was an art form, and the profits came from being a good work of art. Now it's a fucking nightmare capitalist cash cow milking machine (like all other media).

I'm really getting tired of this obnoxious cycle of explaining the fediverse in kindergarten terms.

Only to get "I don't get it" as a response and a refusal to elaborate.

"What don't you get?" "I dunno"

Like at this point I can only assume:

• You weren't listening.
• You don't understand anything about this.
• You don't care, despite the fact you asked.

So for the sake of being as petty and obnoxious, my explanation will be as such:

The fediverse is like spaghetti, and each string of spaghetti is what we call an instance. Each string touches the rest of the strings and can hear the other spaghetti strings talking. Some strings are so mean and rude that other strings decide to put their fingers in their ears and go "LALALALALALA" so they can't hear or see them.

Now, each string of spaghetti has a name, like this one which is yummyicecream․com. And then there's this other string cottoncandydelicious․xyz. If you, a spaghetti user like icecream a lot, then you probably will go to yummyicecream․com and make an account. Let's name this account rockyroad. You are the user @rockyroad and since your spaghetti strand is yummyicecream․com, The user name everyone can see is @[email protected]. Now lets say another user licoricelover is on cottoncandydelicious․xyz then they would be @licoricelover@cottoncandydelicious․xyz.

NOW STOP!! STOP!! WOAH PUT THAT SPAGHETTI STRING THERE DOWN BUCKEROO!! Why are you going to cottoncandydelicious․xyz? You don't need to do that, you just need to go to the string you made account on, yummyicecream․com and log in to your account, rockyroad. Now you see a post from @[email protected] on your feed.

"Wha wha wha, buh buh buh" you say as you drop your fork and start throwing your bowl on the floor. Calm down! It's okay, this is the FEDIVERSE! Users from one string of spaghetti can talk to users in almost every string of spaghetti in the rest of the bowl. Now as I said earlier, not all strings can hear the other strings of spaghetti, because they decided some other strings of spaghetti are yucky. Like ihatepizza․net. What meanie hates pizza? Well many of the other spaghetti strands decided that particular strand was gross and they didn't want to show their posts and users on their string of spaghetti.

But lets say, the string your own made an bad decision and decided they didn't want to show their users posts from users on "peasaregross․org" and they blocked them. But your best friend nerfornothin is on peasaregross․org. Well you can decide to take your account from the yummyicecream․com string of pasta to the cottoncandydelicious․xyz string of pasta. cottoncandydelicious․xyz will let you see posts from users on the peasaregross․org string of pasta.

Mastodon is not all that different from twitter. But mastodon is a bowl of spaghetti, and Twitter is a big pasta shell. You can still block users, you can still make posts and have conversations. But when the fork comes to eat up some of the spaghetti, then some strings of spaghetti might be gone, but the bowl of spaghetti still exists. But if the shell gets eaten by the fork, it's all gone! 😢

Hopefully they will become the desperately needed affordable housing.

Work from home is the future for businesses that 100% operate out of an office, and are basically only an office.

Why pay for a centralized building? Pay for upkeep? Pay taxes for the building?

Especially when the WFH model makes more money? Well, to the wealthy few they realize the soul-crushing work in-person model maintains their class status. This could upset their class structure, and they're terrified of it.

But in a beautiful twist of fate for once, the legal decision to make growth the #1 goal of publicly traded companies is working against the class that instated them.

I mean if I name them do I have to own the domain or…

I think you meant "half a terabyte", but given its obviously just an oversight I'm probably just nitpicking.

The only issue I have with memmy is that "&" becomes "&;amp" for some reason

Yeah my logic is this, I have many computers and a Mac, one day apple will stop updating MacOS. When that happens I will install linux on my Mac.

Come on now, this meme has been getting reposted so much its starting to degrade.
